Some of the worst food Iāve had was from a kosher Jewish bakery in Rome that made non-dairy cream puffs and the like. Lots of cloying whipped Crisco.

Very few kosher delis. Most Jewish delis are kosher-STYLE. In fact, I donāt think Iāve ever seen or been in a true KOSHER deli.
My grandparents kept kosher. That was fun.

Yeah, I remember 2nd Avenue as the one kosher deli. So weād never go lol. We did frequent B&H dairy on trips to the city though.
Not sure what the LA scene was like.

I add Dijon to my Reubens instead of the Russian.

The #65 is fantastic. Pure indulgence, just barely tempered with a slices of tomato.

Iām pretty sure I had the chopped liver once and it was good, though since I canāt remember Iām not sure of that. Definitely not as good as Saulās in Berkeley, which set the bar for me (with the exception of some homemade).

#65 ā Hot Pastrami with Cream Cheese and Sliced Tomato
Iām a āpuristā and only order pastrami or corned beef on rye with a little bit of deli mustard. Maybe Iām stubborn and missing out on the #19 but this is too much. Where does the madness end?
I have found Langerās chopped liver to be consistently excellent.

Curious if they use mayo in their chopped liver? Something a LOT of delis here do to cut corners.
Such a goyishe kop move, IMHO (no offense intended, I never get to use classic yiddish phrases)

mayo in chopped liver?
no.
the best chopped liver is, of course, my motherās which is HER motherās, etcā¦ Chicken livers ONLY. Onions should still have a little zip to them. donāt take them french onion soup dark. Not all of 'em, anyway. Hard boiled eggs fed straight into the meat grinder as filler/buffer.
I havenāt tried Langerās. Them being closed on Sundays (what kind of Jewish deli closes on sunday?) has managed to sabotage more than one attempted visit.
Canterās chopped liver is nasty.
